today removed a motor from a high profile  FC vehicle that has been  eating 
starters since purchased...it is a powerglide. i can not see the cause ,  
after removing the converter and the drive plate. so i will replace both with 
 know good ones and while i am there , the differential will be changed 
from a  3:89  to a 3:55.
i have not seen many powerglide corvairs eat starters...anything i could  
have missed?
the converter LOOKs ok , yes a couple teeth took a slight hit , but i doubt 
 that's the problem. all parts are correct late stuff , bellhousing , drive 
plate  , etc.
i sure hope replacing the obvious works!
someone that likes lots of the red silicone worked on this one before
